Default FAO - Cossie Owners

Love my cossie to bits but. . . . . . .

Really miss having a hot hatch to blast about in , drove a clio172 the other day had it on three wheels on a round about such fun

Wish I could afford to run two cars, anyone else in the same boat.

what you mean you miss having a cossie on your drive or you currantly have a cossie on the drive

if its thre first i found an quick solution for ya mate


look on ebay and buy a 1.6gl sierra,,,,,,,,,, park that on you drive and they hand you wallet over to your missus and let her spunk all you cash in return for using her car for going to work everyday as the sierra is just abandoned on the drive


now the only difference with you and a cossie owner is the model of car it states on the sorn letter you fill in each year


welcome to the gang

See.

I'm going the opposite way, i have a hot, well warm hatch, an 05 206 GTi, and i'm ust baout to buy a saff cossie.

I've said it's for weekends and the odd blat about, but i know (and so does the wife if she really thinks about it) that i'll use it more and more.

So, just need to release the cash. An there is a clean looking exaple only 2 miles away from me..... I hope he can't sell it...

Our Second car is a RENUALT MEGANE! what a fuckin shed! thats deff going!

Did have a 306xsi for a coupla years that was great fun and had a gti-6 that was brilliant in the twisty bits, just lacked power

I guess the compromise is an ESCOS . . . . . . .one day
